For all you out there still using Write-n-Cite (WNC) version II to let RefWorks talk with Word for citing and formatting papers it may be a good thing to switch to the next version, Write-n-Cite III. The main advantage is that it uses just one version of your doucment. So there's no more hassling with a seperate 'editing document' and a 'final formatted document'. And what is more: it is compatible with Vista en Word 2007.

Community of Science is a database with funding opportunities for research, but also has a section with information on over half a million researchers worldwide.Sometimes the information is rather basic, sometimes more elaborate.
